How would we ever manage without you helpful lot stopping in to explain this for us.

Not only did it come to life, but it came to life and began thinking, talking, and having sex.
This actually comes closer to describing what you believe, at least the "suddenly" part. So do you think god made us from dead matter or did he use the special direct-to-life magic stuff?

Well, we're not stuck believing in an always existing, whimsical genie who after some amount of time decides something is even better than nothing. Then decides this something would be even better if it had someone other than Him to appreciate it, so poof, let there be man.

So god "thinks"? And where exactly are god's eyes located? Interesting how you can deduce this stuff about a being that no one has ever seen or studied first hand. You may not have any faith but you are pretty near omnipotent when it comes to making shit up.
